A male migrant, aged 19, has been apprehended in relation to the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old female migrant in Chicago on Tuesday. The individual, identified as Juan Ramirez-Olivo, has been described as 'dangerous' by police sources. Reports suggest that Ramirez-Olivo was involved in the tragic incident resulting in the death of Stephanie Lopez Ramirez, who was discovered with gunshot wounds in an apartment in Humboldt, Park on the city’s west side.

Details of the Incident

Authorities revealed that the two were present in the apartment when the shots were fired. The circumstances surrounding the shooting have raised questions, with Ramirez-Olivo implying it was accidental. However, these claims have been met with skepticism by both a CPD source and a friend of the victim’s family, leading to further scrutiny of Ramirez-Olivo's involvement.

Legal Controversies

Concerns have also been raised regarding Ramirez-Olivo's status, with allegations of him being illegally in possession of a firearm purportedly purchased on the street. Additionally, discrepancies have emerged regarding his asserted origin, with Ramirez-Olivo claiming to be from Venezuela, while an ICE source indicated his actual origin as Colombia.
